Many hours later:

Twilight, with heavy bags under her eyes, wrote throughout the entire night, wrote a letter to each of her friends in a way they could understand her clearly. Spike woke up and was curious on what Twilight was doing, seeing her trying to stay awake, but half sleeping as well.

"Twilight?" Spike asked. Twilight's head landed on the table, followed by some snoring. The young Dragon went to Twilight and poked her face with one of his claws. Twilight snorted herself awake and looked down at the dragon.

"Spike?" She asked "what are you doing?"

"Uh, it's the morning and I just woke up."

"Oh... right."

"What are you doing?"

"Giving you your only chore for today."

"...only one chore?"

"Yeah... I just need you to deliver these letters to the girls, okay?"

"...why?"

"Why? Well... it's something the princesses & I have to do, and we'll be gone for the entire day."

"Where are you going? Can I come!?!?!?"

"Celestia never told me where we're going, and for you coming, I'm sorry, but you have to stay."

"Oh! Come on, please?"

"It's... something boring: political stuff really."

"Oh! That makes sense! Yeah, I guess you're right on that part. So just deliver these to your friends and relax for the rest of the day?"

"That's it."

"Alright!!!" Spike took the letters from Twilight's desk and ran out, slamming the door behind him.

"Now with him gone... I... should... get... princesses." She fell to the floor, back to sleep and snored loudly again.

Afternoon:

Spike woke up Twilight, who, again, snorted herself awake. She saw, in blurry vision, the baby Dragon, but also Celestia, Luna, and Cadence right behind him, all standing and looking at her. Cadence couldn't help but giggle at the sigh of her sister in law snoring loudly, especially by the fact that she's a princess and, with the help of her friends, defeated Lord Tirek.

"You have a lot of questions, don't you?" Luna asked. Twilight got up and stretched out her back & wings.

"I actually do." She responded.

"Don't worry," Cadence added "we'll answer as much questions as we can when we head to her."

"Her?"

"You'll see." Celestia replied, placing a reassuring wing over her.

"Are you sure I can't come with you four?" Spike asked, rubbing the back of his head in an innocent way.

"Don't worry Spike, when the time comes, you will all be her guest, but today isn't that day." Spike groaned to himself and began to walk away.

"Twilight?" Spike stopped and turned to Twilight

"Yes Spike?" Twilight responded

"Please... be careful."

"She will be fine." Cadence spoke. "She will love to see her new Alicorn!!"

"Who!?" Both Twilight and Spike asked. Luna walked to the young dragon.

"I'm sorry Spike," she spoke to him "but this is Alicorn and princess business. Why don't you go and hang out with the... Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"...That sounds good." Spike replied. He began to wave to Twilight "Goodbye Twilight!"

"Bye Spike." Twilight waved back. The door closed right behind him, and his footsteps became silent after a while.

"Twilight," Celestia spoke "there are things we've been hiding from you."

"I read that last night!"

"And please, we will answer all your questions, but first, we must meet up with her."

"Who? Who is this pony!?!?!?" The three looked at her and, with the nod from Celestia, they all spoke.

"Elysium."

"...Who?"

"It's best if we show you." Cadence spoke. Luna used some magic on the handle on the door, then slowly opened it. Instead of the regular hallway, there now lied a vast, empty darkness.

"Come," Celestia spoke "we must hurry before she awakens."

"Awakens?" Twilight asked. Luna entered the void first, flying in the air, followed by Cadnece, then Celestia. Twilight hesitantly followed, but hearing that there were more Alicorns like them were around, there was a pony named Elysium, and they must make it before she wakes up only made her want to follow them even more! She flew with the others, staying at a pace to follow them without taking up all her breath. Luna took a nose dive below, and the rest followed her. Twilight looked down and couldn't believe it: down below was a trail of blue light leading into another area. Following them, she too nosedived, pulling herself up a few feet to prevent herself from crashing onto the floor below. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, getting a better look at the light, seeing that, in fact, it wasn't just light, but other ponies!!! Each of these ponies were different things: soldiers, teachers, leaders, even children, all different species minus Alicorns, marching in one direction that they were flying into.

"Celestia!" Twilight yelled, wondering what was happening.

"Don't worry, Twilight," Celestia reassured her, letting Cadence & Luna travel ahead while she stayed behind with her student "they are spirits who have passed in life, each doing what they knew was right before passing."

"What are they marching to?"

"They are going to live within Elysium."

"...Wait! Did you say 'live within Elysium'? I thought you told me Elysium was a pony, not a...a..." Twilight stopped flying forward and looked ahead: right in front of her, was a huge, no! Giant, NO!!! It was a gargantuan, beautiful, looking, slender white Alicorn mare with a near white blue mane! The size was unimaginable: she was so huge that, if possible, she could easily destroy the planet Equestria was on!!! She was lying on her right side, her huge eyes were shut, her mouth wide open, and her huge chest slowly moving in & out, showing that she was breathing, most likely sleeping. How could something this huge have not been seen in the news!?!?!? She looked and gasped at the sight: the line of blue ponies were marching right into the giant's mouth!!!

"CELESTIA!!!" Twilight yelled "WE HAVE TO STOP HER!!! SHE'S-"

"This is what they came for." Celestia calmed her student down.

"...Huh!?!?!?"

"It may look like she's eating them," Luna spoke, slowing down to meet up with Celestia & Twilight "but really, she's giving them a new home."

"How is that possible!?!?!?"

"Inside her belly," Celestia responded "isn't a stomach, but a beautiful world in which these spirits live together in complete harmony."

"...How are you sure."

"We thought the same thing as when we were born." Luna added. Twilight froze. She tried to comprehend what was going on.

"Don't worry," Cadence finally spoke, flying back to them "it's not like she was hungry. On the contrary, she never hungers nor starves, she only swallowed them as a means to hide them."

"...From who?"

"Our father." Celestia responded.

"Come," Luna spoke "we will answer more when we enter Elysium." Luna lead the way and the rest followed. More questions ran through Twilight's head: Who is their father? Isn't there another way Elysium could've hid them without swallowing them? Did she swallow this land to stop the stomach acids inside? And how were they born!?!?!? She regained focus as they all entered the giant, open maw of this titan of an Alicorn! All of the teeth were about ten times the size of Canterlot's castle, and the tongue cloud lick up an entire country in one lick! Surprisingly, and luckily, no saliva was around, and the whole place seemed dry by the looks of it. A light, gust of wind came from the abyss that was Elysium's throat, gently blowing Twilight's and the other Alicorn's mane back. Twilight accidentally took a whiff of the smell: it wasn't an awful smell, but vice versa, it was an amazing smell!!! A mix of all wonderful smells were there: fresh baked cookies, the various saw flowers, some perfume, Applejack's home made cider, and so much more!!! She wanted to stop and just rest, perhaps lie down on one of the teeth, but she looked ahead and saw a golden glow in the distance. Following the other Alicorns, the light got brighter and brighter, until it was almost blinding, causing Twilight to rise her right hoof up to protect her vision!
